She is going to need a bath.

After her bath, she will want to be nakey and have accidents all over the floor, but you will make her get dressed instead.

When she is all dressed, she will want to go outside to play.

All that playing will make her hot and want to play inside.

She will play kitchen for awhile.

All that pretend food will remind her that she’s hungry.

And chances are, if you give her some food, she is going to need another bath.

    Rachel, those kids are so cute!

    This is random but I have a question about the deodorant recipe that you posted a while ago. I made some and I really like it. But did you run into the problem of it becoming really soupy? The first time I tried it, the weather was cool and the coconut oil was solid. The second time, the weather had warmed up and the coconut oil had liquefied. So the deodorant hardened in the fridge but then became really runny after we removed it from the fridge. Have you run into this problem in Texas this summer? I’ve added more baking soda and corn starch which did help but it is now rather crumbly. Do you have any advice?
